As the person closest to Yan Xiu, Fang Zhengzhi naturally felt it more deeply. He even felt as though he was there, as though he was looking at what happened that day.
An accomplished general, filled with joy and anticipation, came to the lady's house.
But all he received was a piece of white paper and her last words...
"My black hair is dyed white, waiting for you to draw it!"
The lady's infatuation, her silence, and her waiting. Even though she knew that she was about to leave this world, she did not have the heart to tell her husband who was fighting on the battlefield.
"The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan!" Fang Zhengzhi's gaze froze.
Because, Yan Xiu had already moved. At this moment, Yan Xiu's expression was similarly affected by the spirituality of the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan. He waved the fan in his hand, and the Mountain and River Illustration completely exploded.
Like a torrent of water pouring down.
The dazzling light shone from the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan, spilling out and spreading towards the surroundings.
Then, a strange scene appeared.
With Yan Xiu at the center, the scenery within the perimeter suddenly changed, turning into a gigantic Mountain and River Illustration.
Towering rocks, craggy and steep. On top of the mountain, there was a beautiful ink. Countless trees swayed gently, and in between the rocks, a flowing waterfall fell from the mountain, adding a silver ribbon of light to the entire world.
The sound of water flowing, the sound of the wind, and even the sound of the trees swaying, could be heard clearly.
This was an illusory image that was projected by countless light spots. However, this illusory image had completely merged with the real scene, and it was impossible to tell which was which. This image was the Mountain River Illustration on Yan Xiu's paper fan.
Fang Zhengzhi was shocked, and a strong sense of sorrow welled up in his heart. He knew very well that this was the influence of the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan. If he was calm enough, the first thing he would think of at this moment would be to give up on these thoughts.
But, thinking was just thinking. To do it...
It was too difficult!
"Heaven and Earth Reversal!" Just at this moment, Yan Xiu let out a low cry. His voice was filled with sadness as if his mood had instantly fallen to the bottom of the valley.
And Fang Zhengzhi was really very sad at this moment...
When he saw the Mountain and River Illustration in front of him. He did not feel too strongly, just that his emotions were slightly affected, and he felt a little sad.
But following Yan Xiu's words …
He felt as if the whole world had turned upside down, as if he had fallen from the peak of a mountain into a valley.
His heart was about to break.
Of course, that was not the main point. Most importantly, he had a very heavy feeling. This feeling did not come from his heart, but from his back.
It felt like a mountain was pressing down on him.
…
"The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan has its own spirituality. This spirituality can form the Mountain and River Territory. In this Mountain and River Territory … Fang Zhengzhi won't even be able to move!"
At the judging panel, an invigilator sighed as he looked at the scene on the stage.
"Even if I can move, my movements will be greatly hindered. It's basically impossible to win against Yan Xiu in the Mountain River Territory. "
"Once the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan appears, the outcome is decided!" Han Changfeng once again sat back on his chair, his expression somewhat relieved. No matter how monstrous a genius was, it was impossible to break the influence of the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan on one's temperament.
"Amazing!"
"Yan Xiu has the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan, within the Star Conglomerate State, I'm afraid he is already invincible!"
Looking at the scene that suddenly appeared in front of them, the surrounding examinees were similarly shocked. Even those below the stage. They could also feel a heavy pressure.
Even more so for Fang Zhengzhi, who was in the middle of the stage.
And at this moment, Yan Xiu moved again. He waved the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in his hand.
"Kill!"
Following a light shout, the fiery red half moon appeared once again. A red sun flashed in the sky. It was the Asura Sword that Yan Xiu had used previously.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that he should dodge.
But once he used the Wind Shadow Technique, he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to dodge …
Because, the pressure was too great, so great that he was somewhat unable to move. He only had time to move one step. The heat brought about by the Asura Sword had already neared him.
"I have to block it!" Fang Zhengzhi didn't have a second choice.
Gritting his teeth, he finally swung the White Jade Soft Sword. A bright moon appeared in the sky, and a pure white ray of light blocked the fiery half moon.
"Boom!"
The two auras clashed together.
Different from the evenly matched situation before, this time, the pure white ray of light was like ice and snow, instantly torn apart by the fiery half moon, turning into specks of moonlight …
A powerful and domineering wave of air swept towards him. Fang Zhengzhi felt as if his chest had been struck by an extremely heavy force. The Jade Sea Armour on his body released a ray of blue light.
"Kacha!" A deep crack appeared beneath his feet, and Fang Zhengzhi's feet left the ground and flew backwards.
With a plop, he fell face first onto the ground.
Under the influence of the Mountain and River Territory, Yan Xiu was still Yan Xiu, but Fang Zhengzhi wasn't Fang Zhengzhi anymore. His abilities were greatly affected, and he simply couldn't resist Yan Xiu.
"The Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan is indeed not a fake!" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the chest area of the Jade Sea Armour. The light on it had clearly dimmed significantly. Perhaps, if it received another attack, it would probably be damaged.
"You … can you still block it?" Yan Xiu looked at Fang Zhengzhi and spoke.
"If the person standing in front of you was an enemy, you wouldn't ask this right?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't directly reply Yan Xiu's question, and instead asked him back.
"Yes, I won't!" Yan Xiu nodded. Then, a fiery red crescent once again slashed out from the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan in his hands.
Looking at the fiery red crescent flying towards him, Fang Zhengzhi felt that he was asking for trouble. However, he wouldn't admit defeat now.
If he couldn't win in terms of quality, then he could only compete in terms of quantity.
He waved his white jade sword continuously. In one breath, Fang Zhengzhi waved his sword three times. Three rays of pure light formed a straight line and blocked Yan Xiu's fiery red crescent.
"Boom boom …"
A violent aura wreaked havoc in the arena.
On the other hand, Fang Zhengzhi also retreated once again. However, compared to the previous time, he didn't fall again. He was only forced back three steps by the wave of air.
"Looks like … even three to one isn't enough!" A trace of a bitter smile appeared on the edges of Fang Zhengzhi's mouth. The current him was merely forcefully holding on.
As long as the Mountain and River Territory in front of him existed, his abilities would be greatly reduced …
Then, victory and defeat, had already been decided.
"Am I going to lose?" Fang Zhengzhi looked at the Mountain and River Illustration that was formed from countless spots of light. It wasn't that he couldn't afford to lose, but, he felt that losing like this was somewhat strange.
Clearly, he wanted Yan Xiu to use his full strength. But, Yan Xiu really used his full strength, yet, he immediately admitted defeat …
That was really somewhat embarrassing.
"I should at least hold on for the time of an incense stick?" Fang Zhengzhi thought for a while and felt that this was a bottom line. At least, it wouldn't be too embarrassing.
Hence, Fang Zhengzhi began to take the initiative to attack.
If three rays couldn't win against one, then four, five, six, seven, eight, nine …
Sensing the abundant white mist in the small world, he made his move.
The bright moon in the sky, completely releasing the fear in his heart. Rays of white light rapidly attacked towards Yan Xiu.
A trace of shock appeared on Yan Xiu's face once again.
Based on his understanding of Fang Zhengzhi, Fang Zhengzhi wouldn't do many meaningless things. However, at this moment, Fang Zhengzhi was strangely strong.
Most importantly, this fighting spirit definitely wasn't faked.
…
The surrounding examinees were also somewhat shocked.
On the arena, the originally one-sided situation seemed to have slowly stabilized under Fang Zhengzhi's crazy counterattack. Rays of white light crazily slashed out from the White Jade Soft Sword.
Just like the bright moon in the sky, it burned out its last radiance.
Qin Yumin looked quietly at Fang Zhengzhi, her expression somewhat respectful. Perhaps, only in some special circumstances could one see the true nature of a person.
For example: A battle that he clearly knew he was going to lose, but he still used his full strength.
This was respect towards his opponent, and similarly, it was also respect towards himself.
The expression on Han Changfeng's face was somewhat complicated. There seemed to be a trace of admiration, but, within the admiration, there was also a trace of indescribable fear.
Perhaps, he was more willing to see Fang Zhengzhi give up, and not crazily counterattack on the arena.
…
Yan Xiu didn't hold back anymore. Because, Fang Zhengzhi's actions had already told him that towards a friend, true sincerity was to attack without holding back.
Hence, Yan Xiu also began to become somewhat crazy.
Rays of fiery red half-moons continuously slashed out from the Mountain and River, Heaven and Earth Fan. The red sun in the sky became brighter and brighter, as if it was completely burning.
The heat and the bitter cold fought against each other on the arena.
However, the amount of sweat on Yan Xiu's body, who was on the side of the heat, was far less than Fang Zhengzhi on the side of the bitter cold.
At this moment, Fang Zhengzhi's forehead and back were already completely covered in sweat, and the hand holding the white jade flexible sword trembled slightly.
The white mist in the pocket dimension became thinner and thinner.
He knew, if this continued, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer …
"Looks like … I am really going to lose!" Strangely, Fang Zhengzhi felt slightly sad. Could this be the legendary, if you don't court death?
He still remembered the words he left at the entrance of the Northern Mountain Village before he left.
Can't pass the capital examination?
I will show you a double roll champion!
Perhaps, my expectations are really too high? Now, he had already confirmed that he would pass the capital examination. Even though his overall ranking would be slightly higher because of Yan Xiu's advantage in the combat examination.
But he could still be considered second place.
"Am I going to be number two for once?" Fang Zhengzhi didn't really like this ranking. He would rather be a mistress … Oh, alright, actually being number four and number five wasn't bad either …
Just as he thought about this, Fang Zhengzhi's feet suddenly slipped, and he suddenly took a step forward.
Huh?
